WINDOW-ROD FAS/TENER.

Application led February 28, 1921.

To @ZZ flic/0m it may concern.'

Be it known that I, ALBERT CIIENEL, a citizen of the United States,residing at New Bedford, in the county of Bristol and State or"Massachusetts, have invented new and usetul improvements in lindow-RodFastenets, ot which the following is aspeciiication.

ln the ordinary construction of window trames, the parting head for thesashes is let into groove in the side members or stiles ot the trame`and not infrequently the inner and outer sash beads are also let intogrooves. In many instances, however, the beads are nailed to the sidemembers of the frame. It frequently becomes necessary to remove thesebeads, when it is desired to remove the sashesy and as the said beadsmust be pried away trom the "trame, injury is iniiicted to both thebeads and the frame.

It is the object of the present invention to produce a means whereby thebeads may be effectively sustained on the frame without the employment01"' nails or the like, and likewise be readily removed therefrom whenoccasion requires without imparting` injury to either the beads or theframe.

The foregoing, and other objectswhich will appear as the nature of theinvention is better understood, may be accomplished by a simpleconstruction, combination and arrangement of parts, such as is disclosedby the drawings which accompany and term part ot this applica-tion.

ln the drawings Figure l is a perspective view of a portion of a window'trame showing the beads attached thereto in accordance with this in-`vention.

Figure 2 is a sectional view, on an enarged scaie, and approximately onthe line 2 2 ot Figure l.

Figure 3 is a view of the elements constituting the attaching means.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Mar. 2i, i922,

Serial No. 448,596.

T he side member ot an ordinary window trame is indicated, in thedrawings, by the numeral l. The parting' bead is indicated by thenumeral 2, the inner bead by the nu meral 3 and the outer bead by thenumeral et. The parting; bead 2 and the outer bead 4tare let into2grooves in the side member oi:

the window frame.

In the sides of the trame in the center of each ot the `grooves, :forthe beads, I screw therein socket members 5. The sockets have theirentering ends pointed as at 6, and their opposite or outer ends kerted,as at 7. The bore ot each ot the sockets is threaded and the socketsare, ot course, provided on their outer surfaces with threads. The kerfis designed to receive a screw driver or like instrument whereby thesockets may be screwed into the member l.

Each of the beads, 3, 2 and 4, in a line with the respective socketshave openings therethrough, the said openings being rein- :torced bymetallic sleeves 8. Passing through these sleeves S are the threadedshanks 9 ot headed members l0, the said Shanks entering the threadedbores ot the sockets, and contacting with the outer Vtlangijed ends oithe sleeves 8 bind the beads in their respective grooves and secure thesaine on the side otl the frame.

Having` thus described the invention, l claim A device ltor the purposeset forth, comprising a socket member having` a pointed end and lraving`Xterior threads for the length thereot, said socket having its widenedend kerted andl its bore threaded, a tlang'ed s'eeve designed to Contactwith the widened end et' the socket, and a headed screw pass- C' throughthe'sleeve and threadedly engagging` the bore ot' the socket.

In testimony whereoic l my signature.
